CHENNAI:
The iconic Mamallapuram Seashore Temple became the first green energy archeological site in India with the completion of Green Heritage Project. The temple will now be lighted up using renewable energy. Three 10-kw solar plants will power the entire heritage site and feed the surplus energy back into the grid for future consumption.
The temple will also provide drinking water to tourists through solar operated reverse osmosis (RO) plant. The plant has three water kiosks with two inside the temple area thereby providing necessary water to the tourists and visitors.
The temple will also have electric buggies, operated for pregnant women/senior citizens/differently abled. They will be run by trained women from the local community. A parking shed with three charging units is also provided for easy maintenance.
The project, implemented by Renault Nissan Technology & Business Centre India (Renault Nissan Tech) in partnership with Hand in Hand India (HiH), was handed over to to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). A.R. Rahul Nadh, Chengalpattu District Collector, M Kalimuthu, Superintending Archaeologist, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), Chennai, Hirotake Harada, Senior Vice President, Engineering, Renault Nissan Technology & Business Centre India and Dr. Kalpana Sankar, Managing Trustee, Hand in Hand India were present on the occasion.
The project marks a significant milestone in the enhancement of basic amenities and the implementation of green energy initiatives, setting a precedent as the first such initiative among India's 32 UNESCO-declared cultural archaeological sites.
